Volunteers are welcome to come out in the mornings and help with both the unassisted and assisted car rider lines. It will especially help closer to the time when Rangers and staff have to go in.

Additionally, parents are always welcome to contact the Humble ISD non-emergency number at 281-641-7900 to request additional support in preventing a backup exiting the school, especially as it gets closer to WLMS arrivals.
